Finally i'm part of the TL family!! WDP

I finally bought a WDP 2008 Acura TL-S. i already did some minor modding, nothing too special. Here are some pics. Help me out to on what to do next. And sorry about the bad quality of the pictures, i used my Cliq for all of these




I blacked out the top and middle part of the grill


INJEN intake



Some Random Shot





That's a 09 Lancer, people usually get it confused for a EVO X

it's better than the dealer drilling 2 holes in my bumper for that awful license plate bracket.

i just bought H&R Race springs, and i'm waiting for this horrible Chicago winter to pass by then its LOWERING TIME

I used plasti-dip, clear coat and rubbing compound. the reason i used plasti-dip was so i can just pull the paint off, i'm planning on redoing it with vinyl for a cleaner look.

welcome,
your car looks great! my grill is similar to yours; i have the top part blacked out.

and i say get a black roof it'll match your grill nicely

first thing you should do is remove the front plate...if you must have one...put it where it belongs with the oem holder...second thing finish blacking out the grille..just leave the A chrome though...this is a good start

i want the holes in my grill. and i want the acura engravement in the bumper. i ordered the decals but for some reason still havent gotten them yet. and as for the grill, this was done at like 2 in the morning cause me and the guy with the lancer were bored.

i have a lot of pics of me and the lancer. but this is an acura forum not a mitsubishi forum. the lancer used to have green painted rims. now the rims are power coated purple and with 15 mils spacers all around, and a couple more stickers, the one i like is "No Fat Chicks, Car will Scrape"

Post them in the "Car Talk" section. I'm shure I can't be the only one who would like to see some more pics of it.

vinyl. it looks exactly like glossy black paint and when you get tired of it you can just take it right off! i've had it on mine for a few months and i'm really happy with it; completes the look of any wdp imo
but whichever you choose it'll look great; keep posting pictures!
and i agree with rossv1, post some pictures of that lancer!

where are you located? if you're in socal then i know someone that'll get it to you for cheap; it's not 3m but the quality's just as good.
if not then look around the forum, try the black market or this: http://www.stickercity.com/48-black-...for-hoods.html

Congrats on the new car! I picked mine up from McGrath too. You get yours from the place in Morton Grove or Westmont? They typically have quite a few Type-Ss to choose from... Enjoy the whip!

Ditto... Otherwise, that's my only bit of constructive criticism. Welcome to the forum.
